Brad Allen was born on February 14, 1973, in Melbourne, Australia. From a young age, he developed a strong interest in martial arts, beginning his training in boxing and karate at just ten years old. He later expanded his expertise to include a broad range of martial arts disciplines such as Aikido, Hapkido, Taekwondo, Wing Chun, and Kickboxing.
Allen studied under renowned martial artists Liang Chang-xing and Tang Lai-Wei, who were members of the prestigious Beijing Wushu Team. His dedication to martial arts led him to attend the Shanghai Institute of Sport, where he also learned Mandarin, immersing himself further in Chinese martial arts culture.
Brad Allen made his film debut in 1993 with a role in the film "Drunken Master III," an unofficial installment inspired by Jackie Chan’s original "Drunken Master." His competitive accomplishments include representing Australia at the 4th World Wushu Championships in Rome in November 1997—another testament to his high-level martial arts skill.
Allen’s career took a pivotal turn when Jackie Chan was filming "Mr. Nice Guy" in Australia. Through industry connections, Allen was introduced to the film’s action director, Cho Wing, who was impressed by Allen’s martial arts demonstration. This led to Allen being cast in Chan’s subsequent film, "Who Am I?" in 1998.
Following this opportunity, Allen was invited to join the Jackie Chan Stunt Team in the early 2000s, becoming one of the first non-Asian members. This milestone marked significant progress in his career, allowing him to contribute to high-profile action sequences and further establish his reputation in the industry.
Brad Allen’s talent soon led him to international recognition. He worked on several major Hollywood films including "The Chronicles of Riddick," "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," and Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy." His expertise as a stunt choreographer and martial artist earned him widespread acclaim in the film industry.
Details about Brad Allen’s personal life, including marital status, are not widely publicized. He is best known for his professional contributions to martial arts cinema and stunt coordination, and he remains a respected figure in both the Australian and global film industries.
